 December is really moving fast. We had a bit of snow Saturday and woke up this morning to a winter wonderland! I took this photo out of our dining room window!

 I doubt if it stays around long but kind of pretty for a day! That's all the longer I want it to stay around, though.

I hope all of you in the US enjoyed your Thanksgiving. We had a very nice family dinner. And the great part of this year's celebration was the guys decided to do the dishes! That was fantastic! And we got to enjoy leftovers most of the next week.

I can't believe what a difference my back surgery made. I have been able to do sit ups again. I hadn't been able to do even 1 for over a year so when I tried the other night I was very careful and expected pain immediately! Didn't happen! So I did 5 and will start 1 more each time. I am  going to start walking the road again soon but only when it isn't raining, windy, snowing or icy! I think I have learned my lessons on that front!
 
I wish I could submit my updates faster but I am only allowed to submit 3 at a time. It is going to take me forever. I haven't even gotten through my Autumn designs and to me winter is here.

I was so hoping Congress would vote to let the states that have already approved to stay on Daylight Savings Time actually do it, but they didn't. I am hoping this is the last time we have to change clocks. We still have a lot of clocks that don't automatically change. And turning them back takes longer. Our vehicles are all older, too so they have to be changed. 
🦊
 I am also hoping that more people  will get vaccinated, now that we have the Omicron here. I have figured that at my husband and my ages, we will probably be wearing masks for the rest of our lives. We have gotten our boosters but we still double mask when we go out. Which is rare. Only Dr. appointments and every other week to the grocery store.

 I have made family calendars for years with all our birthdays, etc. on. The program I use is Broderbund Printshop...very old program. When I went to install it in my old, old laptop it said it wouldn't work with Windows 10...but I didn't give up and managed to get it to work! So I have to keep that laptop updated just so I can use that program. And it won't update to Windows 11.
🦊
Has anyone updated to Windows 11? I only have 1 computer that will work with it but I am going to wait a bit. I am expecting my desktop to quit one of these days. My grandson (IT guy at WWU) built it about 12 years ago. He has had to replace a few components in it, put a SSD in several years ago but he says there is too much to update it for 11 so it looks like Grandma is gonna have to break down and purchase a new one and I really don't want to, so will put it off until this one won't work anymore. I have my old Quicken program, my old Photoshop Elements, etc. all set up like I like and I am gonna hang in with this one until it won't work! So keep your fingers crossed for my old desktop! Please!
🦊
 Going to get back to work, make a few designs, and submit a few more. Have a wonderful week! Stay safe and don't spend too much money on Christmas!

  1. Beautiful landscape! It's great that everything is going reasonably well. I have waited a long time for the time change to disappear and I am no longer sure that it will happen anytime soon. I think it is completely unnecessary. All the best.

  2. Hello. I only use your themes on Firefox browser. I change them every season. I want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.

  3. Hey! You can update the theme of "Frangipani by Madonna". In Firefox 95.0, it gives a black background on sites. Thank you.

  6. So happy you're still doing great and that the surgery helped so well!

    I'm reaching out to you because I have the same problem as "Unknown" but with the design "Aqua Floral by MaDonna". I've reached out to you almost two years ago with another problem and you were so fast and friendly, so I thought I'd try it again. :)

    Stay safe, healthy and enjoy the Christmas time!

    1. Whoopsie, I forgot the link:

      https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/aqua-floral/

      It's this design. The "Dark mode" on websites just doesn't fit, unfortunately. Would be great if you could change it to "normal" again! :)

    2. I am submitting a fix in what I hope with solve your problem. I only have so much control over the themes, so I will submit what I can do by changing two things. If this helps, let me know...otherwise it is something I have no control over.

    3. You're the best! I've updated the theme and everything is "normal" again! A very big virtual hug to you! <3

      I hope you'll have a wonderful Christmas. And no injuries of icy roads, please! ;)

  7. Hello! I've been using your sharks theme for a long time, and it's my favorite. I noticed though that it changed the other day to have the dark theme for the rest of the webpages, and I really like having the white background it used to have. Would it be possible to make a second shark on with a "light" theme like before?

  8. I am asking experts about this because I only have so much control over the themes and when/if I get an answer I will post it for sure! It may just be a setting that you can change in your Firefox...I just don't know for sure. I like dark backgrounds for all my pages, even use a Dark Background extension to make mine that way. As it's easier on my old eyes.
